Hi, just posted the mail below on the semantic-web list (thread starts at [f1]). Most of the terms we're thinking about are already available in RSS, DC, FOAF, SIOC, etc, we only need a few new terms to model stuff like re-tweets/dents (see [f2]) and a "best/suggested practice" doc. Instead of creating another namespace we *could* nicely ground things in the status.net URI space. I saw that you haven't published an RDF schema at [f3] yet. That's something we could produce in this side-project (win-win, blah).
Would that make sense to StatusNet? Should/may we continue the discussion here?
